About this episode

The episode discusses writings predicting life in the digital age and critiques contemporary art through various thematic lenses.

On this episode of Content Minded Podcast, I discuss some writings from Parabola Magazine and Jean Baudrillard that came immediately before the 21st century from the 80s and 90s that predicted what life would be like in the age of mass digital communication and a new millennium, and I break down a new video from the art critic show “scorned by muses” on futurism vs. classical realism in contemporary art. I talk about topics ranging from the 90s new age movement, AI, the “meaning crisis”, the obsession with the backrooms lore, and a form of “integral politics” of a civilization that seems to be at the heart of a loss or void in contemporary life that is being expressed currently. The first half is free, and the full podcast is available on Patreon and Substack for only $5 a month. Please like, share and subscribe to help keep good content alive.
